Eleanor blinked rapidly as her vision came into focus. "Brittany where are you"?

"Over here Eli" Brittany yells from the other side of the room.

"Where I can't see you" Eleanor says struggling "Something is on top of me and I can't move. Try finding a light switch"

"Gotcha" Brittany moves across the room and after tripping over various items finds a light switch. "Found it". As she flicks on the lights she turns to come face to face with a clown head. "Ahhhh" Brittany screams.

"What happened" Eleanor yells as she frees herself from a web of silly string.

"Ccccccccllll" Brittany trembles as Eleanor comes to her side.

"Oh brother after all these years and your still scared of the painted mask" Eleanor sighs. "Come on Brit we have to find their secret lair" she drags her to the edge of the room, searching for the door.

"Why is there so much junk in here" Brittany asks coming to her senses. "I mean really now, who still has bikes with training wheels?"

"This must be the basement" Eleanor says as she looks around "Now can you stop criticizing the knick knacks and help me find a door?"

"In all this junk I can't even find my own shoes" Brittany whines.

"Wait look I think I saw a flickering light over there" Eleanor takes Brittany by the arm and starts running in the direction of the light.

"Oh because it's always safe to follow a random light in an evil house" Brittany mumbles as they reach the corner.

"Shhh listen I hear something" Eleanor crouches down by the edge and motions Brittany to follow her lead. They hear clattering and mumbling but no coherent phrasing. There listening so intently that they don't even notice a dark shadow looming behind them.

"Um excuse me but what do you think you're doing?" A short redhead asks the two chipmunks.

"Um we were just" Brittany starts.

"Thought you guys wouldn't get caught huh" the redhead asks.

"Well we um" Eleanor stutters.

"Well you two would normally be in a lot of trouble but since this is a special day and all I'll let this slide and pretend I didn't see you slacking off"

"Slacking off" Brittany asks confused.

"Well I wouldn't call it working since you're not doing any work. I mean seriously you don't even have your uniforms on. Come with me and then I'll send you to your stations." The redhead taps on a wall that reveals a small staircase which the three begin to ascend. They walk down a long corridor and stop at a cream colored door. "You are to get dressed and report down to the kitchen to receive further instruction" the redhead states. She opens the door and leads them inside. "Everything you need is in here so don't go roaming about. A guard will be placed outside the door and when you are done knock three times and he will lead you to me" she exits the room and closes the door with a firm click.

"Told you we shouldn't have gone toward the light" Brittany huffs.

"No this is a good thing" Eleanor says looking through the clothes. "We can now disguise ourselves as service people"

"And that is a good thing how?" Brittany asks observing the clothes.

"It means that no one will recognize us and we can roam the palace without being spotted"

"Great plan but if you forgot were kind of trapped in here"

"Leave that to me but in the meantime do you think that you could use your mad makeup powers to make us unrecognizable?" Eleanor asks handing her a tube of lipstick.

"Please little sister don't insult my intelligence"

…...

"So now that you took a millennium to get ready, I will give you your assignments" the redhead says as she slowly circles the two undercover chipettes. "You both will be assigned to the kitchen to cook and serve the meals for the big dinner tonight"

"With all due respect miss" Eleanor stammers.

"Renata. That's Ms Renata manager of housekeeping."

"Right, Ms. Renata. Look my sister here is a real klutz in the kitchen. Normally she is sent to make the beds or something that won't cause a big fire like last time" Eleanor says.

"Hmm very well you will be put on kitchen duty while your sister goes with the others to straighten the rooms for tonight" Renata turns to lead Brittany out.

"Try to sneak away to find the lab and I'll watch over the boys" Eleanor whispers to Brittany.

"Got it" Brittany runs after Renata and turns to look back at her sister. Eleanor motions to her ear and Brittany turns her ear piece on. She signals thumbs up behind her back.

"Oh boy" Eleanor sighs "This better work"

Meanwhile…...

"So I was like yes way and he was like no way" Tiffany says dramatically.

"No way" her sisters squeal in unison.

"Somebody kill me right now" Alvin mumbles as he sinks lower in his seat.

"Sorry about my sister's conversation" Jeanette says to Simon "They can sometimes forget that guests don't speak their gossip language"

"No problem I'm used to this sort of thing back home" Simon says picking at his salad.

"Really do you have sisters too?" Jeanette asks innocently.

"No but my girlfriend does and boy can they gossip" Simon laughs.

"Really what does she do about it" Jeanette leans on her hands listening intently.

"Well normally she either talks to me or just ignores them" Simon shrugs.

"Wow that's funny I normally just read the nearest book and tune them out" Jeanette blushes "I know kind of nerdy but"

"No I don't think it's nerdy at all" Simon looks at her "I think it's actually a great way to ignore them. My girlfriend uses that method all the time"

"Your girlfriend sounds like a smart girl" Jeanette smiles.

"You don't know the half of it. She actually reminds me of you" Simon smiles back.

"Really, how so?" Jeanette inquires.

"Well for one thing you're um beautiful just like her" Simon blushes and looks down at his food once more.

"Oh I'm nothing compared to my sisters. I mean look at Tiffany she is the definition of beautiful" Jeanette looks at her sisters who are still gossiping.

"To be perfectly honest I think you look 100 times more beautiful than any other girl I have ever seen" Simon sneaks a glance at Jeanette who is gazing intently at him.

"You really think so" Jeanette asks dumbfounded.

"I know so" Simon says resting his hand on hers. Jeanette is about to remove her hand but thinks better of it as she gets lost in his eyes. While the two love birds are staring at each other, Theodore is looking through the bread baskets.

"Do you think they have anymore bread in the kitchen" he asks Alvin.

"I don't know Theo why don't you ask one of the waitresses" Alvin asks exasperated.

"Fine I will" he scans the room and lands his eyes on a short black haired waitress. "Excuse me waitress"

The waitress turns and comes over to him "can I help you sir"?

"Yeah do you um ugh" Theodore starts to ask but stops as he gets lost in the waitresses eyes. "Um I um ugh"

"Oh for the love of everything Holy" Alvin grumbles "My brother was wondering if they have any breadsticks in the back and when on this good green earth are we going to get our main meals. I would like to eat before I die of starvation."

"Terribly sorry for the wait, chef is overwhelmed by the feast the ladies asked to be made" the waitress responds in a country accent. "I'll go check on those breadsticks for your friend here. Um is he ok?" she points at Theodore who is drooling over her.

"Oh he's fine just hungry like the rest of us" Alvin says whacking his brother on the head.

"Ok well I'll be back with those bread sticks" the waitress scampers off.

"Wow" Eleanor mumbles to herself, "I should consider dying my hair if it makes Theodore react like that"
